Gear Question Looking for Paid Stock video & B-roll sources (Besides Storyblocks)

[MattCommand1]

I am looking to up the quality of my videos and looking for a source of B-roll and stock videos that I cannot take or create myself. I've already checked Pixabay for freebies. There is a very limited selection for what I am looking to do.

I am considering a monthly or annual subscription service. Storyblocks is being recommended by many Youtubers I follow and respect. Any other alternatives besides Storyblocks? I've been poking around and reading the terms of license of a few providers. There don't seem to be many without an onerous license or outrageous prices.

I am down to Storyblocks but before I commit to a subscription, I was hoping maybe someone is using a different service which has good pricing and a good inventory of stock / B-roll videos.

Thank you.

Na, I don't have any experience with those services. I can see how stock footage would help you with the editing and saving time.

I have created some B-roll and stock footage for myself to use. But there are simply some cool stock video I've seen, I have no ability to create for myself. Yes, it saves time but a lot of it is because my skills are limited. I don't want to be overly dependent on a 3rd-party resource but I am not against paying a little bit to make my life easier.

As everyone experienced says, find small ways to keep improving your videos which is why I am specifically looking for a paid (but reasonably affordable) subscription service.
